NFL Women's Forum
Inspiring, educating and connecting women candidates for Football Operations positions in professional and collegiate football programs.
The NFL Women’s Forum helps the NFL identify women currently working in college football to join its next generations of leaders.
The ninth annual NFL Women's Forum took place in February 2025 as part of the league's ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The invite-only Forum educates and connects women candidates currently working in college football roles. Participants interact with Owners, General Managers, Head Coaches and club executives in the NFL and in college football programs.
“We are actively expanding opportunities for women by identifying and developing qualified individuals as part of the NFL’s inclusion efforts.”
Troy Vincent, Sr., Executive Vice President of Football Operations
To help attendees grow their network and learn industry insights, the Forum includes one comprehensive day of panel discussions, presentations and roundtables. Participants get an exclusive look into coaching, strength and conditioning, player personnel, team operations, football administration, research and strategy, video and equipment.
“Women are vastly underrepresented in operations positions in sports. NFL clubs understand the value of considering the entire talent pool during the hiring process. This program provides the opportunity for teams to meet with driven and experienced women, with a focus on women of color, who have a strong desire to work in football and we’re proud of the progress we’ve seen in four years.”
Sam Rapoport, Creator of the NFL Women’s Forum
Since 2017, over 250 opportunities have emerged for women in NFL roles. That number continues to grow in 2025.
NFL Football Operations’ mission is to establish a culture of clarity, consistency and credibility in all aspects of the greatest game. Football is an essential piece of America’s fabric, uniting fans, players and communities with a simple yet powerful bond. We honor the game’s history while continuing to innovate and preserve the sport for future generations of fans, players, coaches, teams and officials.
